Travel Guide: Aarhus, Denmark, Aarhus, Denmark

In early summer, my husband and I re-visited Denmark. On previous trips we had visited the capital city, Copenhagen but this time we wanted to venture a bit further and explore a new region - Aarhus.

Aarhus is the second largest city in Denmark and I have to say I really enjoyed our time there. We stayed there for three nights and I think for a city break this is the perfect amount of time.

One of the main reasons I wanted to visit the city was to see the ARoS Art museum alongside the rainbow coloured walkway, I came across it years ago online and had sparked my interest. The other main draw was the township open air museum Den Gamble By which I will detail in this guide. We split these main attractions up over two days and to be honest it was the right thing to do. You could in theory visit both on the same day but it would be rushed.

ARoS is one of the largest art museums in Northern Europe. If you love and appreciate art of any kind then you should make a visit.

As you approach the museum you will spot the rainbow coloured circular walkway on the roof, in fact you can spot the rainbow colours from many rooftops in Aarhus. ...... (follow the instructions below for accessing the rest of this article).
